FEATURES OF FOREIGN POLICY METAPHORS FUNCTIONING
Keywords:
conceptual metaphor, conceptual integration, virtual space, concept, political discourse, foreign policy, manipulation of consciousness, war, peace.Abstract
The paper discusses the role of conceptual metaphor in the foreign policy discourse
which is its part and parcel. Conceptual metaphor is a universal tool of a politician by
which he influences and manipulates public consciousness to solve his own problems. Conceptual
metaphor is a derivative of political struggle and the means of comprehension of
foreign policy as it reflects the situation in the world.
